摘要:We propose improvements under squared error loss of the minimum risk equivari-
ant and the linear minimax estimators for estimating the location parameter of a
p-variate spherically symmetric distribution, with restricted to a ball of radius m
centered at the origin. Our construction of explicit improvements relies on a multi-
variate version of Kubokawa’s Integral Expression of Risk Difference (IERD) method.
Applications are given for univariate distributions, for the multivariate normal, and
for scale mixture of multivariate normal distributions.
